My 1st ever AIBU thread! My Bday is Thu and DH keeps asking me what I want, I wish I could say

his backbone.

'Cos he either never had one (but I was too in love to realise it before I married him) or he seems to have lost it along the way.

Nothing specific. Just a general rant. Well, it did arise from something that happened over the weekend and a few other tiny issues here and there. And whenever I'm reminded of it, I get really annoyed about it.

He never stands up for me. Not that I need him to, but I've noticed that whenever sticky situations arise, I stick to my guns and he either sits on the fence or sways with the wind. This makes me more frustrated and thereby seeming confrontational or aggressive.

But there are always 2 sides of a coin, which is why I can never get my point across to him (and perhaps vice-versa). He claims that unlike me, he rises above the situation and does not react. Or that he plays the game so as not to aggravate the situation but achieving results in the long run, ifkwim. The way I see it, he is just plain coward.

Anyway, its put a damper on my Bday and I have no mood to celebrate it anymore, let alone with him.
